Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Stor e Telling November December 2009

Tortoise and Hare Jean Grandville, 19th Centuy

I have penned the Stor E Telling
column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the
publications page of my website found herehttp://www.storybug.net/stor-e-telling.html. I will be adding
the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the
process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is
a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post
the individual columns on my blog for now.

I will not be adding current
columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the
newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National
Storytelling Network.

Please feel free to comment on the blog and let me know if
you find this useful.

P.S. I know many of you are probably tired of reading the above message, which I use in all of my Slow and Steady articles. However, I continue to use if for those new readers who might not know the reasoning behind these blog posts, and of course, to make them aware of the NSN. There is always a method to my madness. Thanks for playing along.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER

This issue addresses Story and Transformation so I offer
some sites to assist you in transforming your own story work.

the person we are. It forms the
person we are becoming….” An article that discusses storytelling and how it
relates to Christian ethics.
